The Power of Outdoor Therapeutic Experiences

This is an online Campfire Discussion with academics and practitioners from South Africa and the United Kingdom.

Join the University of Cumbria and the Adventure Institute for an engaging evening of online discussion on the healing power of nature. Gather around our virtual campfire as we explore the impact of Outdoor Therapy.

We’ve all felt the calming effects of gazing into a fire or walking through nature—now let’s dive deeper into how these experiences can be made more meaningful. Whether for casual recreation or profound adventure, let’s discuss how we can be more intentional in shaping these experiences for ourselves and others.

Be part of the conversation and discover how Outdoor Therapy can transform lives.

Bonus: Attendees will receive priority access to the upcoming 2025 Outdoor Therapy Programme offered by both institutions.
